1. extracting energy from nutrients
Yes. Photosynthesis is an anabolic reaction, meaning energy is required to make the reaction run. Enzymes are especially important in these reactions because they lower the activation energy (Ea) of the reaction. This allows compounds to be combined and transformed with less energy.

The two reactions of photosynthesis are connected by two substances: ATP and NADPH. These are produced by the light dependent reaction and are used by the light independent reaction. ATP is produced from ADP and Pi (phosphate): ADP + Pi ---> ATP This reaction requires energy to make it work, and this energy comes from light absorbed in the light dependent reaction. NADPH is produced from NADP+ and H: NADP+ + H ---> NADPH This reaction also requires energy, which is obtained from light in the light dependent reaction. The ATP and the NADPH are used in the light dependent reaction to provide energy and a source of H to convert CO2 to CH2O (carbohydrate). The products of the reactions (ADP, Pi, NADP+) are recycled in the light dependent reaction to produce more ATP and NADPH.

This is called the light phase oh photosynthesis as opposed to the dark phase. During the light phase, photons excite enzymes on the thylakoid. Also can be known as Light-Dependent Reactions
The influence of specific enzymes is strongly dependent on environmental conditions.

they are both stages in photosynthesis and both require enzymes and occur in the chloroplast :)
Enzymes for photosynthesis are in chloroplasts.Mitochondria are responsible for respiration.
They occur first within the cytochrome biochemical photosynthetic Enzymes that reside within the Thylacoid membrane systems that reside within the Grana and Stroma of the Chloroplasts that reside within photosynthetic Organisms.
enzymes involve in bio chemical reactions.
The rate of photosynthesis depends on temperature the same way enzymes depend on temperature. Photosynthesis involves enzyme assistance. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions. Enzymes are affected by pH and temperature. If the pH is too acidic or basic, enzymes will be denatured (which means they will change shape and not be able to catalyze reactions as well or entirely). Same goes for temperature. If the temperature is too cold or too hot, the enzymes might deactivate, or their efficiency will be inhibited. So, if the temperature of the organism's environment is too high or low, the rate of photosynthesis will decrease because the enzymes aren't working properly. On the other hand, if the temperature is optimal for enzyme activity, the rate will increase, as production is at its high.
